Genesis 14
1 And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goiim,
Na ɛbaa sɛ Babiloniahene Amrafel, Elasarhene Ariok, Elamhene Kedorlaomer, Goiimhene Tideal bere so,
2 that they made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela — the same is Zoar.
na saa ahemfo yi ne Sodomhene Birsa, Gomorahene Birsa, Admahene Sinab, Seboimhene Semeber ne Belahene a na wɔfrɛ no Soar no dii ako.
3 All these came as allies unto the vale of Siddim — the same is the Salt Sea.
Saa ahemfo yi a wɔyɛ Sodomhene, Gomorahene, Admahene, Seboimhene ne Belahene boaboaa wɔn asraafo ano wɔ Sidim subon a ɛno ne Nkyene Po no mu.
4 Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
Wɔsom Kedorlaomer mfe dumien, na afe a ɛto so dumiɛnsa mu no, wɔtew atua.
5 And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer and the kings that were with him, and smote the Rephaim in Ashteroth-karnaim, and the Zuzim in Ham, and the Emim in Shaveh-kiriathaim,
Afe akyi no, Kedorlaomer ne ahemfo a wɔbɛkaa ne ho no tuu ɔsa. Na wɔko dii saa nnipa yi so nkonim: Refaimfo, a wɔwɔ Asterot-Karnaim ne Susifo a wɔwɔ Ham ne Emifo a wɔwɔ Kiriataim
6 and the Horites in their mount Seir, unto El-paran, which is by the wilderness.
ne Horifo a wɔwɔ bepɔw Seir so de kosi El-Paran a ɛda sare ano no.
7 And they turned back, and came to En-mishpat — the same is Kadesh — and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that dwelt in Hazazon-tamar.
Afei, wɔsan wɔn akyi baa En-Mispat a akyiri no, wɔfrɛɛ no Kades bekunkum Amalekfo ne Amorifo nso a na wɔte Hasason-Tamar, sɛee wɔn man no nyinaa.
8 And there went out the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela — the same is Zoar; and they set the battle in array against them in the vale of Siddim;
Afei, saa ahemfo baanum yi a wɔne Sodomhene, Gomorahene, Admahene, Seboimhene ne Belahene a wɔfrɛ no Soar no kɔɔ
9 against Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goiim, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings against the five.
saa ahemfo baanan yi a wɔne Elamhene Kedorlaomer, Goiimhene Tideal, Sinearhene Amrafel ne Elasarhene Ariok nkyɛn. Wokohyiaa wɔ Sidim subon mu.
10 Now the vale of Siddim was full of slime pits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and they fell there, and they that remained fled to the mountain.
Na nkomoa pii wɔ Sidim Bon no mu a wɔatu ama wɔ hɔ pɛn. Enti ɛbaa sɛ Sodomhene ne Gomorahene asraafo no reguan no, wɔn mu bi kɔtotɔɔ nkomoa no mu, na nkae no nso guan kɔɔ mmepɔw a na ɛwɔ hɔ no so.
11 And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way.
Ahemfo baanan a wodii nkonim no fom Sodom ne Gomorafo ahode ne wɔn nnuan nyinaa de kɔe.
12 And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.
Esiane sɛ na Abram nuabarima ba Lot te Sodom asase so no nti, nkonimdifo no faa ɔno ne nʼagyapade nyinaa kɔe.
13 And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew — now he dwelt by the terebinths of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner; and these were confederate with Abram.
Na Sodom ne Gomora aguanfo no mu baako bɛbɔɔ Hebrini Abram ɔko no mu amanneɛ. Saa bere no, na Abram abɔ ne ho atenase wɔ odum kwae bi a ɛyɛ Amorini Mamrɛ de no ase. Mamrɛ yi nso, na ne nuanom ne Eskol ne Aner a na wɔyɛ Abram aboafo no.
14 And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he led forth his trained men, born in his house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued as far as Dan.
Bere a Abram tee sɛ wɔafa ne busuani Lot dommum no, ɔboaboaa ne fifo nnipa ahaasa ne dunwɔtwe a wɔatetew wɔn sɛ akofo ano, maa wotiw atamfo no, kosii kurow bi a wɔfrɛ no Dan mu.
15 And he divided himself against them by night, he and his servants, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.
Da no anadwo, Abram kyekyɛɛ nʼakofo no mu ma wɔtow hyɛɛ atamfo no so, kunkum wɔn, taa wɔn koduu kurow bi a wɔfrɛ no Hoba a ɛwɔ Damasko atifi fam no mu.
16 And he brought back all the goods, and also brought back his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.
Abram gyee ɔko mu nneɛma a wɔfaa no nyinaa faa ne busuani Lot ne nʼagyapade ne mmea ne nnipa foforo a wɔkyekyeree wɔn no nyinaa san bae.
17 And the king of Sodom went out to meet him, after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer and the kings that were with him, at the vale of Shaveh — the same is the King's Vale.
Abram kodii Kedorlaomer ne ahemfo a na wɔka ne ho no so nkonim akyi no, Sodomhene behyiaa no wɔ Sawe bon a ɛno ara na wɔfrɛ no Ɔhene Bon no mu.
18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine; and he was priest of God the Most High.
Na Salemhene Melkisedek a na ɔyɛ Ɔsorosoro Nyankopɔn sɔfo no de brodo ne nsa brɛɛ no,
19 And he blessed him, and said: 'Blessed be Abram of God Most High, Maker of heaven and earth;
behyiraa Abram se: “Ɔsorosoro Nyankopɔn a ɔbɔɔ ɔsoro ne asase, Nhyira nka wo, Abram.
20 and blessed be God the Most High, who hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand.' And he gave him a tenth of all.
Na nhyira nka Ɔsorosoro Nyankopɔn a ɔde wʼatamfo ahyɛ wo nsam no.” Na Abram maa Melkisedek nneɛma a ne nsa kae no nyinaa mu biara nkyekyɛmu du mu baako.
21 And the king of Sodom said unto Abram: 'Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself.'
Sodomhene no ka kyerɛɛ Abram se, “Fa me nnipa a wofaa wɔn no ma me na wo nso, fa nneɛma a aka no nyinaa.”
22 And Abram said to the king of Sodom: 'I have lifted up my hand unto the LORD, God Most High, Maker of heaven and earth,
Nanso Abram ka kyerɛɛ Sodomhene no se, “Madi nsew aka ntam akyerɛ AWURADE, Ɔsorosoro Nyankopɔn, ɔsoro ne asase yɛfo se,
23 that I will not take a thread nor a shoe-latchet nor aught that is thine, lest thou shouldest say: I have made Abram rich;
Merennye biribiara, sɛ ɛyɛ asaawa hama baako anaa mpaboa so hama mpo, mfi wo nkyɛn, na woanka da sɛ, ‘Me na memaa Abram nyaa ne ho.’
24 save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men which went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre, let them take their portion.'
Merennye hwee mfi wo nkyɛn, gye nea me mmarima yi adi nko. Me nkurɔfo Aner, Eskol ne Mamrɛ de, ma wɔn wɔn kyɛfa.”
